Gu Qingshan stood on the lonely peak.
He closed his eyes and was immersed in countless fragments of the past era.
The battle and sacrifice of a famous swordsman kept reappearing in his mind like a fast-forward scene.
"The path...what exactly should be the path of sword cultivation?"
Just listen to him talking to himself.
In the sky, countless birds circled back and forth, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Answer.
Answer.
Answer.
The sword cultivators are waiting for an answer.
Gu Qingshan suddenly released a sky-high sword energy and shouted loudly: "I, the sword cultivator, are never afraid of death or sacrifice. I am willing to cut through thorns and thorns with the long sword in my hand and defeat all obstacles in front of me!"
In the sky, a flock of birds descended and flew around him.
They resonated with Gu Qingshan.
The shadow of Ms. Ji Wu quietly appeared aside and said, "Do you have an idea of how to create a path as a sword cultivator?"
All the sharp energy in Gu Qingshan's body receded, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
This emotion almost never occurred to him.
"What's wrong with you?" Shadow asked.
"As a sword cultivator, I have the care of my master and the protection of Chaos, but every time I face the enemy on the battlefield, my armor is never enough; let alone the situation of other sword cultivators."
His voice became softer: "Just now... I saw countless comrades sacrifice their lives."
"As a sword cultivator, every time I use the sword in my hand to turn the tide and save others, of course I am not afraid of sacrifice—"
"but,"
"Can we not die?"
There was silence all around.
All the flying birds fell down and stayed on the lonely peak.
They all looked at Gu Qingshan.
"We also have families, loved ones, and people we care about and must always protect. Can we survive?"
"In other words, why must a swordsman die in battle when there is no way to retreat?"
Seemingly recalling something, Gu Qingshan sighed.
Ms. Jiwu was silent for a moment and said:
"I think the path of sword cultivation should be unstoppable swordsmanship."
Gu Qingshan continued: "Yes, the path of sword cultivator must be unstoppable swordsmanship. All sword cultivators can do this, and I want to do other things for all sword cultivators -"
He looked at a flying bird and said: "The sword cultivator trapped alone in the enemy's formation should break out of the encirclement with an unstoppable force."
He looked at the other two birds and said: "In order to be with the one you love, swordsmen should not die for love, but should save each other with their swords."
He cast his eyes on more flying birds and said loudly: "As a sword cultivator, even if we are in a desperate situation, we should have more ways to create a new situation instead of just trying our best."
At this moment, Gu Qingshan seemed to have figured out something.
He drew his sword and pointed it at the sky.
"From today on, I, Gu Qingshan, will blaze an unprecedented path for all sword cultivators."
His eyes became firm and his voice was penetrating: "No matter what the circumstances, the life of a swordsman should not end in sacrifice."
"Sword cultivators hold swords throughout their lives to protect others, so sword cultivators are more worthy of living - this will make those who care about sword cultivators no longer sad."
"I swear--"
"The path I want to take will be followed by thousands of sword cultivators in the future."
"They don't have to sacrifice because of it!"
boom--
All the birds rose into the sky, forming a huge ring in the sky, surrounding Gu Qingshan, and started chirping at him.
Ms. Jiwu looked on, nodded and said: "The ambition is clear, the wish is immediate, the road is promising..."
She raised her hands and clapped her hands lightly.
In an instant, all the illusions of light and shadow completely disappeared.
Gu Qingshan returned to the world of Asura again, still standing in the sky, with a magnificent city at his feet.
He looked down at the city.
With the remaining power of the Holy Wish Sacrifice and the Three Lives Sacrifice, he found those Asuras.
——In their previous lives, they were all sword cultivators.
At this moment, as Asuras, they are trying to find ways to improve their strength and prepare for future wars.
Gu Qingshan looked at them quietly with a smile on his face.
The shadow of the dancing lady appeared beside him.
"I've seen you fight fiercely in the past. I thought you would choose an unparalleled attack path today, but who knew you chose another path instead," Shadow said.
"What did I choose?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Guard, your wish is to protect all sword cultivators." Shadow said.
"Protect them, and they will have the strength to protect more people, madam." Gu Qingshan smiled.
"What are you going to do next?" Shadow asked.
"First we must find a way to prevent the three void arts." Gu Qingshan said.
Shadow was startled.
Now everyone knows who the enemy of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is.
——Three techniques of void.
They are the three arts with infinite power. Even the Six Paths of Reincarnation had to be shattered by the attacks of the three arts for countless years.
"This seems too difficult." Shadow said.
"If you can't do this, then what's the point of working so hard to explore a path?" Gu Qingshan spread his hands.
"Crazy idea," Shadow commented.
"It's worth a try." Gu Qingshan said.
"Of course it's worth a try, but how will you take your first step?" Shadow asked.
"I have to learn the Holy Wishes Sacrifice from you first, get a preliminary understanding of the path, and then implement my idea step by step." Gu Qingshan said.
…
Time passes.
On this day, Gu Qingshan was practicing the Holy Wishes Sacrifice following the shadow of the sacrificial lady, when a line of small scarlet words suddenly jumped out of the void:
"Notice."
"The fixed historical time stream is about to come to an end, and everything is about to begin."
"You are the disciple of Chaos, the holder of the Key of Wind."
"In this fixed history, you are the only one who can move freely."
"If you want to continue practicing, you can only go back to a certain moment in the past."
Gu Qingshan glanced at it, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Madam, I will probably go back to the past and practice for a while."
"Go ahead, you still need to practice more dance steps. If you have any questions, just ask me in the past. Do you remember?" Shadow said.
"remember."
Gu Qingshan held the Wind Key and poked it into the void, then turned it again, and a light door suddenly opened.
After taking one step across, he was facing Xie Daoling, Turtle Saint, King Asura and himself.
"It's okay, don't worry about me, I am you in the future, return to this moment and continue practicing."
"The future?" Gu Qingshan from the past wondered, "How long in the future did you travel back to?"
Gu Qingshan bowed to Xie Daoling before explaining.
At this time, other Gu Qingshan kept jumping out of the void.
Gu Qingshan himself felt his brows jump.
Have you returned so many times?
——It seems that it is not that easy to find a way out.
This scene has surprised everyone.
"You kid...what are you practicing?" King Asura couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qingshan smiled and glanced at himself at this moment.
——It’s better not to say it, so as not to affect your judgment at this moment.
Waves of mist filled the air around him, and he disappeared from the crowd.
After counting the breaths.
Somewhere remote in the world of Asura.
Gu Qingshan stood on the pile of bare rocks, holding a long sword and lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Di Jian asked.
"Road." Gu Qingshan responded casually.
"It's too difficult to create a path. Do you have any specific ideas?" Luo Binli asked worriedly.
"Yes." Gu Qingshan said.
"Yes?" several swords said in unison.
"Yeah, let me tell you first - my path, I think I'll call it the sword path." Gu Qingshan said.
"Bad road?" Di Jian asked.
"Sir, please change your name." The Six Realms Divine Mountain Sword knocked the Earth Sword and said.
"What? Want to change your name?" Gu Qingshan became nervous.
"Shannu is right. Look at the three techniques of the void. One person has ten thousand lives, all souls are ignorant, and parallel worlds. They sound so powerful. But you only have one sword skill. It's too ordinary." The Delimiting Divine Sword said. .
"That makes sense..." Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
moment.
Two moments.
Three moments.
It was getting dark.
The swords stood behind him and remained silent.
…
Its daybreak.
Gu Qingshan is still deep in thought.
Di Jian sighed and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
